Fc-mediated immune stimulating, pro-inflammatory and antitumor effects of anti-HER2 IgE against HER2-expressing and trastuzumab-resistant tumors. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
Collectively, anti-HER2 IgE maintains Fab-mediated antitumor activity, induces Fc-mediated effects against HER2-expressing tumor cells, and stimulates remodeling of the immune microenvironment in tumors to promote pro-inflammatory cell phenotypes which could translate to improved outcomes for patients.

Before neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with H and P dual-target therapy, ALT levels were associated with pCR. After the treatment, GGT levels were linked to pCR. This treatment regimen was associated with increased blood levels of ALT, AST, LDH, and GGT.

EGFR-HER2 Transactivation Viewed in Space and Time Through the Versatile Spectacles of Imaging Cytometry-Implications for Targeted Therapy. (PubMed, Cytometry A)
Such dynamic fluctuation of receptor interaction may open a window for the binding of therapeutic antibodies that are aimed at inhibiting heterodimerization, such as pertuzumab. The complementary array of state-of-the-art imaging cytometry approaches thus demonstrates a spatiotemporal pattern of spontaneous and induced receptor aggregation states that could provide mechanistic insights into the potential success of targeted therapies directed at the HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases.

A composite 18F-FDG PET/CT and HER2 tissue-based biomarker to predict response to neoadjuvant pertuzumab and trastuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer (TBCRC026). (PubMed, Breast)
The HER2/PET-CT biomarker had high prediction power for pCR, however was not superior to the prediction power of PET/CT alone. Non-invasive PET/CT biomarkers may facilitate a response-guided approach to neoadjuvant therapy, allowing intensification and de-intensification of treatment, pending further evaluation.

Adaptive Proteomic Changes in Protein Metabolism and Mitochondrial Alterations Associated with Resistance to Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Therapy in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Additionally, we identified key proteins, including ANXA1, SLC2A1, and PPIG, which contribute to the tumour progression and resistance phenotype. Our study suggests that targeting these pathways and proteins could form the basis of novel therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer.

Comparative efficacy and safety of pyrotinib plus trastuzumab versus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab and trastuzumab monotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Rev)
Pyrotinib combined with trastuzumab may offer an effective neoadjuvant treatment option for HER2-positive breast cancer, with a superior efficacy over trastuzumab alone. However, pyrotinib plus trastuzumab did not show better efficacy compared with Per + H. Pyrotinib plus trastuzumab was associated with more diarrhrea than trastuzumab monotherapy. In addition, P + H is less cost-effective compared with the combination of Per + H.

Chemotherapy was initiated with a regimen of paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab...However, after 9 months of treatment, disease progression occurred, leading to sequential changes in the treatment regimen to T-DM1 and T-DXd...Postoperatively, the patient received radiation therapy to the chest wall, followed by continued treatment with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. As of 2 years after surgery, no recurrence has been observed.

Is switching to T-DM1 still justified in HER2-negative residual breast cancer after neoadjuvant systemic therapy? (PubMed, Breast)
The standard of care for HER2-positive and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) combined with trastuzumab, with or without pertuzumab, is to continue with adjuvant T-DM1 in cases of an incomplete response according to KATHERINE trial results. However, the optimal management for patients with residual disease with loss of HER2 expression is not widely studied. Loss of HER2 expression after NACT with anti HER2 is a rarer event with questionable value both as a predictive prognostic marker.

HER2 positive primary breast squamous cell carcinoma with good prognosis: a case report. (PubMed, AME Case Rep)
Subsequently, she underwent post-operative chemotherapy regimen of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, T-docetaxel and trastuzumab (AC-TH) and then received maintenance treatment with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. If possible, dual anti-HER2 therapy combined with trastuzumab and pertuzumab is recommended. Finally, positive clinical prognosis of PBSCC may be attributed to early detection, immediate surgery, precise diagnosis and proper adjuvant treatment strategy.

Pertuzumab Retreatment for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Locally Advanced/Metastatic Breast Cancer (PRECIOUS Study): Final Overall Survival Analysis. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol)
Median PFS by independent review did not show the difference between the two groups (4.4 v 4.4 months; HR, 1.03 [one side 95% CI upper limit, 1.36]). These findings suggest that dual HER2 blockade with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab could contribute to improving OS in patients who have previously been treated with pertuzumab-containing regimens for HER2-positive LA/mBC.

HER2DX in HER2-positive inflammatory breast cancer: correlative insights and comparative analysis with noninflammatory breast cancers. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
The HER2DX pCR score could predict pCR in stage III HER2-positive IBC following treatment with de-escalated neoadjuvant systemic therapy and in stage III HER2-positive non-IBC. Elevated pCR rates in HER2-positive IBC with high HER2DX pCR scores suggest there may be a role for treatment de-escalation in these patients and confirmatory studies are justified.

Guiding Competitive Binding Assays Using Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction: The HER2-Affitin Use Case. (PubMed, ACS Omega)
Interestingly, these affitins do not compete with the commonly used monoclonal antibodies trastuzumab and pertuzumab for HER2 binding sites, allowing their concurrent use in vivo and making them suitable for imaging or diagnostic purposes. These findings indicate that targeted competitive binding assays could efficiently reduce the experimental efforts to map the HER2-affitin interactions. The computational approach proposed in this study not only provides insights into this specific case but also establishes a robust framework applicable for facilitating the structural modeling and interaction prediction of other affitin-protein systems.
